Chapter 202
Third day

Before the formation of the two armies, the generals of both sides did not say anything else. In this battle of life and death, neither side has any good manners.

They all went straight, without any opening remarks. After the Nanman army pressed up, the battle started directly. The sharpshooters suppressed the soldiers on Qiguan City, and the sword and shield soldiers covered the barbarians with sandbags.

It is different from the rain of arrows on Qiguan City in the previous two days, which caused heavy casualties to the Nanman.

Today, what puzzled the southern barbarians was that Dayu's soldiers on Qiguan City just threw some black, sticky, pungent things down.

None of his feathered arrows were shot down. They didn't know what the hell was going on. They didn't think that Dayu's soldiers sitting at Qiguan would lose their feathered arrows.

Others don't know, but several Nanban leaders and Nanban Marshal Halba and others know it clearly.

Except for some Nanman soldiers who were injured by clay pots, less than a hundred people were killed or injured on the Nanban side in less than half an hour.

Regardless of what Dayu's soldiers on the city were thinking, the Nanman people ignored the others when they saw it, and increased their manpower one after another to transport sandbags to the city of Qiguan.

At the same time, the oil thrown down by Dayu's soldiers spread all over Qiguan City, so many Nanman soldiers often fell to the ground while transporting sandbags.

This made a group of Nanman leaders and others think that this dark thing was probably intended to slip and block the actions of a group of Nanban soldiers.

However, its effect and influence are very limited, and the soldiers of the Southern Barbarians were not difficult to get by a small slippery object because of this.

After the soldiers fell down, they all stood up one after another and continued to transport sandbags under the city of Qiguan.

Although the speed is slow, but because of the increase in manpower, the progress has not decreased but increased.

Different from the optimism of several Nanban leaders, the Nanban marshal Halba squatted down and stared at the oil on the ground.

Nanban Marshal Halba dipped his hand into the oil on the ground, put it in front of his nose and smelled it, and a pungent smell rushed straight into his nostrils.

Looking at the oil like water and oil, Marshal Halba of the Nanban was very puzzled, and couldn't help but wondered:

'What is this, how can it be so strange? '

Soon, Shangguan Qiuyu upstairs gave him the answer, the Dayu soldiers in Qiguan City were not throwing that black thing at this moment.

Instead, the rockets were aimed at the city and fired with bows, which made the Nanman Marshal Halba who suddenly raised his head see his pupils constrict for a while.

He hurriedly shouted loudly:
"Everyone retreat quickly."

Before the words were finished, nearly ten thousand rockets had rushed towards Qiguan City. These rockets did not go towards the soldiers of the Southern Barbarians, but towards the oil under their feet.

The oil that had been bred for a long time broke out suddenly after encountering a rocket, and its monstrous fire quickly spread to the entire city of Qiguan.

Marshal Harba and the leader of the Nanban who were far away were also within the range of the fire.

Because the soldiers of the Southern Barbarians carried sand and stones back and forth, their feet were stained with a lot of oil between the trips.

Therefore, the scope of this fire spread is somewhat wide.

Marshal Harba of the Nanman and several leaders of the Nanman retreated quickly before the fire came, but they were not engulfed by the fierce flames.

But many soldiers around them were not so lucky, because they didn't have time to react, except for some guards with relatively high martial arts, other ordinary soldiers were swallowed into the fire.

The fire directly engulfed Qiguan City, and nearly 20 Nanman soldiers saw Nanman wailing in the fire.

Many people rushed to the army formation behind their homes in order to survive, but what greeted them was not rescue, but cold feather arrows.

Many people were shot and killed by their own people because they were wearing flames, which made all the Southern barbarian soldiers who were caught in the fire feel desperate.

In addition to the thick black smoke and the unpleasant pungent smell, there was also a smell of barbecue in the air, which made all the Dayu soldiers in Qiguan City want to vomit after smelling it.

Fortunately, Shangguan Qiuyu had people prepare wet cloth towels earlier, and asked them to cover their mouths and noses in advance.

And he himself directly closed his sense of smell, so as not to let himself smell this kind of barbecue smell that made him hard to swallow.

Although there have been many armies in history, because there was not enough military rations, human flesh was used as military rations.

The reason why a person is called a person is because he has a non-beast-like thought, and can kill each other, but cannot eat each other.

Cannibalism is something that goes against human relations, if it is not a last resort, no one will eat it, and Shangguan Qiuyu is extremely disgusted with such things as cannibalism.

At this time, it was the north wind that was blowing, but all the billowing smoke was heading towards the Nanman barracks, without any impact on Dayu's soldiers on Qiguan.

However, because of the ferocity of the fire, Dayu's soldiers on Qiguan City, which was closer to the fire, felt the heat wave, as if they were about to be roasted, and they were sweating profusely.

However, compared to paying the price of their lives, Dayu's soldiers on Qiguan City would rather bear this bit of heat.

Compared with the scorching summer in Tianyan County all year round, this heat is nothing, not a big deal.

The north wind was very strong, and it once showed signs of attacking the Nanman camp.

Seeing this, Marshal Harba of the Nanman and several leaders of the Nanman couldn't help stepping forward, and with the strength of a few people, they managed to stop the spread of the fire.

Marshal Harba of the Southern Barbarians flew above the fire by himself, standing in mid-air.

The Southern Barbarian Marshal Halba in the air didn't say a word, and then he swung his saber down, with a burst of cold saber aura.

Cut to the monstrous fire below him.

Immediately, wherever Marshal Harba's saber qi passed, the fires were extinguished one after another, and a streak of ice condensed on the ground, sealing the burning kerosene on the ground.

Shangguan Qiuyu saw that the monstrous fire under Qiguan City was extinguished by a quarter of it under the knife of Nanman Marshal Harba, and his pupils constricted for a while.

Turning his head to look at Tie Ying and Ying Lao who were beside him, the two understood, they flew up together, and killed the Nanman Marshal Halba in the air.

Seeing this, Shangguan Qiuyu told Han Qinghu beside him:
"Go on, throw oil at me, don't let the fire go out."

"Yes, the general understands," Han Qinghu nodded in response.

Soon, the fire that had been frozen by Han Qinghu's true energy started to ignite again, and it was gaining momentum even more fiercely.

The three of them are both masters of the Xiantian realm, and they fight with great power, but Tie Ying and Ying Lao combined their forces to suppress the Southern Barbarian Marshal Halba to death.

In order to prevent the Marshal Harba of the Nanman from causing damage to Qiguan City, Tie Ying and Yinglao both drove Harba back to the Nanman camp.

At this point, Tie Ying and Ying Lao let go of their hands and feet, and they shot with all their strength, intending to seriously injure Nanman Marshal Halba, and make all the barbarians beheaded.
